Land Occupied By Saraki’s Family In Ilorin Taken Over By Kwara State Government by Blindersoff: 1:09pm On Dec 28, 2019
The Kwara state government has taken over a piece of land occupied by the Saraki family in Ilorin, the state capital.

Rafiu Ajakaiye, chief press secretary to governor of the state, announced this on Friday, saying a new secretariat would be built on the land.

Ajakaiye said the land was originally meant for government secretariat and parking space of the Civil Service Clinic, but was unlawfully allocated to a private firm, Asa Investments Limited, without any record of payment to the state government.

He said no certificate of occupancy was issued in favour of the firm. Part of the land, situated beside the Civil Service Clinic, is also right in front of the residence of Olusola Saraki, father of the former senate president, who built a house there and named it “Ile Arugbo” (elderly peoples’ home).


The statement explained that the government has now made provisions for the secretariat in the 2020 budget, although its construction will spill over to 2021.

“Hundreds of civil servants still operate from rented apartments at a huge cost to the government.

“The new secretariat, once completed in 2021, will definitely go a long way to end this unhealthy trend as well as provide a more conducive and decent working environment for government workers,” the statement added.

Ajakaiye added that AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the governor, has signed a constitutional instrument withdrawing the allocation of plots of land 1, 3 and 5 to the firm.

He said that the said land was unlawfully appropriated contrary to the purpose for which it was meant.

The spokesman added that the governor’s decision followed a resolution of the State House of Assembly urging him to reclaim the land because it was arbitrarily taken over in the 1990s without any evidence of payment by the company, even though the land was meant for public use.

[b]The governor noted in the revocation order that the land was originally meant for the construction of another phase of the Kwara State Civil Service Secretariat and a parking space for both the civil service clinic and the secretariat.

The revocation order read: “In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 5 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) 1999 and Section 1 and 28 of the Land Use Act Cap. L.5 of 2004 and all other powers enabling me in that behalf, I, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Governor of Kwara State of Nigeria, give the following notice:

“The Notice may be cited as the Land Use (Revocation of Right of Occupancy and withdrawal of allocation) Notice, 2019.

“Allocation of plots of land 1, 3 and 5 TPS/MISC 129 to Asa Investment (Nig) Ltd. which is meant for the Kwara State Secretariat.

“The land, specifically and more described in survey No. KwSH 927 and Land/G1071 situated and lying beside Civil Service Clinic on Ilofa Road Ilorin, Kwara State, is hereby revoked and withdrawn for overriding public interest for use of the purpose it is originally meant for:

“The construction of Kwara State Secretariat; parking space for civil service clinic and the Kwara State Secretariat and annex to the Civil Service when upgraded to a hospital.[/b]

“That the plots allocated are hereby declared void. Notice is therefore given to you, Asa Investments Nigeria Limited, that the plots of land 1, 3 and 5 TPS/MISC 129 allocated to you and any title on the land whatsoever are hereby revoked and the allocation is withdrawn for overriding public interest.”

The senate president has forfeited some of his houses in Lagos and Kwara to the federal government as a result of suits filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

It's about to go down. Bukola Mesujamba Saraki's supporters from Biafran Republic can travel to Ilorin and use themselves as human shield round the land, let's see whether security agents won't send them to meet Ojukwu.

What is happening today shall one day happen to all the public servants that have turned themselves to public masters and looted our treasury, be it in AOC, PDP, APGA or any party whatsoever.

God pushed Saraki to pick a wrong battle, the combination of Buhari and Tinubu will humiliate even Lucifer himself.

No. It's everybody's business! It's this kind of negligent attitude by the Nigeria's citizens that's brought us this far.

Get involved and speak out!

Saraki has gone mum on issues of the Nation. During elections now, he'll become the mouthpiece of the people.

Selfish politicians.

That is how one government will emerge someday and take over all the things Buhari and his family and friends have stolen from Nigeria under the false pretense of fighting corruption.


The same will happen to Yoruba's looting machine and lord Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and he will be chased out of Lagos back to his real hometown in Osun state the same way US Government collected all his stolen and crime gotten wealth in the US and chased him out of Texas US back to Lagos Nigeria where he went to become the untouchable looting machine and lord of the Yoruba land.

Just a matter of time!
